Electricians from the city came to Xianji Bridge to install wires. They were all wearing blue khaki electrician uniforms and yellow plastic safety helmets, and they looked very impressive. The whole village came to see them.
The power generation capacity of the hydropower station is limited, and all efforts must be made to ensure the power supply of the machinery factory. Therefore, although the Xianjiqiao Brigade is close, there is no plan to send electricity to every household. You know, even Taipingqiao Town is not fully electrified yet. Only
Only factories and units have electricity. Xianjiqiao Primary School has been connected with electric wires to facilitate the development of night schools.
"Chang Xing, when do you think our brigade will be able to have electric lights in every household like in the city?" Zhang Xilai asked.
We have already heard about electric lights, telephones, and televisions in textbooks, but to the people of Xianjiqiao, everything is like a castle in the air, so far away.
"The new schools are all going to be electrified, and the day when every household in Xianjiqiao will be electrified is not far away," Chang Xing said.
"That's right. After we finish the orchard and make money, we can install electric wires for every household." Zhang Xilai said.
A few days later, Zhou Maolin stood on the dam of the hydropower station, watching Xiao Wu and Xiao Yinshun work together to open the gate. The water in the canal rushed out like a wild horse, rushing down the high slope. Then it passed through the generator room.
, flush out from the water outlet.
The unit of the hydroelectric generator began to rotate under the impact of water, and the speed became faster and faster. The light bulbs in the machine room flashed, indicating that the generator unit was already generating electricity. The power plant suddenly became brighter, just like a sudden change in the night sky.
The moon appears normally.
"Power on!"
Someone shouted excitedly, completely tearing the silence of the night sky over Xianji Bridge.
The machinery factory also suddenly lit up, and the inside of the factory looked like daytime.
Zhao Jianguo said excitedly: "The power has not yet completely stabilized. When the light stops flashing, we will immediately prepare to turn it on."
Zhou Hongbing and Zhang Dalei decided to temporarily defect from Zhang Xilai's gardening field and work as apprentices in a machinery factory. If they pass the selection, they will become workers in the machinery factory. Although the workers at Xianjiqiao Machinery Factory will definitely compete with the city and the country.
There is a huge difference between grain workers and grain workers. But the attraction of the word worker to the farmers of Xianjiqiao is so strong that no matter how Zhang Xilai glares, he cannot bring these two people back. Even Zhang Hongbing
I want to give up my career and become an apprentice in a machinery factory.
"Xilai, you can go if you want. There will always be someone to take care of the gardening field. You have gone to high school and are considered an educated person in Xianjiqiao. If you enter the machinery factory, your future will be completely different." Chang Xing said.
.
"I, I will not be a traitor." Zhang Xilai obviously didn't mean what he said.
"You can go if you want. In fact, there is nothing to be ashamed of. The machinery factory is not open all the time. You can still take care of the gardening field after work," Chang Xing said.
If there was a way to get the best of both worlds, Zhang Xilai would naturally go to the machinery factory to give it a try. What if he could become a worker? The temptation of workers was so great that it attracted all the young people in Xianjiqiao.
"Xilai, why are you here too?" Zhang Dalei was extremely surprised to see Xilai.
"Why can't I come?" Zhang Xilai said angrily.
"You were talking about us before, but you didn't come too?" Zhang Dalei muttered.
"I'm different from you." Zhang Xilai said.
"Why is it different? I can't resist the temptation of being a worker. I was talking about us at first. Now I'm here too?" Zhang Dalei looked at Zhang Xilai with contempt, because he came to be an apprentice in a machinery factory.
I have been ridiculed by Zhang Xilai for a few days.
"It's just different. You two are traitors. Even though I'm here, I will still be in charge of the gardening field in the future." Zhang Xilai said.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? You are in charge of the gardening field, how can we ignore it? How come we have become traitors?" Zhou Hongbing said with a smile.
"Anyway, you two are traitors. Chang Xing and I have decided not to care about you two anymore," Zhang Xilai said.
"If you ignore me, you can't replace Chang Xing." Zhang Dalei said disapprovingly.
"Anyway, I made an agreement with Chang Xing," Zhang Xilai said.
"Stop the quarrel, stop the quarrel, the test run is about to begin, are you responsible for affecting the test run?" Zhou Fenglai said quickly.
The noisy factory suddenly became quiet. Who dares to bear this responsibility? If something breaks down in the machine, wouldn't he become a saboteur?
Zhang Xilai and the others quickly closed their mouths.
In fact, the machinery factory cannot produce very responsible machines now. Now it mainly produces tractor accessories, and in the future it may produce some more complex products, such as rice transplanters and harvesters.
Zhao Jianguo can't wait to produce tractors, harvesters, rice transplanters... a lot of machinery right away, so that youth farms can be mechanized as soon as possible. By then, Zhao Jianguo is afraid that he will be in the newspapers. What Zhao Jianguo pursues is not simple.
Return to the city not in a humble way, but in a glorious way.
"The voltage is stable, ready to test the machine!" Zhao Jianguo saw that the light no longer flickered and the light became brighter. He looked at the pointer on the instrument and saw that it had pointed to the rated voltage.
At such a critical moment, Zhao Jianguo naturally had to close the switch himself and asked Dai Fudong to take pictures with his camera. In order to make the effect better, Zhao Jianguo turned slightly sideways so as not to only take a picture of the back of his head.
As Zhao Jianguo closed the gate, the machine immediately made a thunderous roar.
Zhang Dalei was so frightened that he sat down on the ground: "Oh my God! The house is going to collapse!"
Seeing Zhang Dalei's embarrassed look, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Chang Xing pulled Zhang Dalei up: "Dalei, you are promising. If you look like this, you will definitely not be selected."
The pressure of competition this time is very high, and there are a large group of people in the village who are around 20 years old. The machinery factory is not big, and it needs at most a dozen people. If it is full, it can accept 20 apprentices to make up for the sky. There will be a few educated youths coming over.
Technicians, as well as a few people with some factory experience, total about ten people. They can almost support the machinery factory and hydropower station.
Zhang Dalei quickly stood up: "Hey, my foot slipped just now and I fell down accidentally."
Chang Xing didn't plan to be a worker in the factory, but just came to watch the excitement. If he didn't participate in the apprentice selection, he wouldn't be able to enter the factory, and naturally he wouldn't be able to see the excitement, so Chang Xing simply followed Zhang Xilai and the others in.
Zhao Jianguo has already prepared the materials to process the key gears of the threshing machine. The gears of the threshing machine are very rough. As long as the strength is enough, the accuracy of the gears is not a big problem. Moreover, the gears are used on threshing machines.
It doesn't withstand much force, so as long as it doesn't use particularly inferior materials and is processed a little more carefully, it can last a long time on the threshing machine.
Zhao Jianguo fixed the raw cast iron ring on the machine tool, and then steadily entered the machine... Soon a large gear of the threshing machine was completed.
Zhou Fenglai took over the newly machined gear and immediately gave Zhao Jianguo a thumbs up: "This is awesome. It's exquisitely processed. It's much better than the gear our brigade bought on the street.
Zhou Fenglai was full of words of praise, but he didn't name the specific advantages. If you say yes, then you can tell me what's good about it? You know it, but you don't understand it very well, but you like to flatter him, which makes Zhang Xilai very disdainful.
"This Zhou Fenglai is a flatterer." Zhang Xilai said in a low voice.
"His son also wants to join the machinery factory as an apprentice. He originally wanted Secretary Maolin to make an appointment, but Zhao Jianguo decided to make a fair selection and choose those with stronger receptivity. How could his son be selected for his virtue?" Zhou Hongbing knew something.
Inside story.
"So people want to curry favor with educated young people. Zhao Jianguo will be in charge of the machinery factory in the future. As long as he agrees, it can be decided." Zhang Xilai said.
"Zhao Jianguo seems to be quite decent. He shouldn't let Zhou Fenglai open the back door for him just by fawning over him." Zhou Hongbing said.
"Red Soldier, why don't you go find Secretary Maolin? His words should be helpful." Zhang Xilai asked.
"I'm not going. I can't afford to lose that person!" Zhou Hongbing said disdainfully.
"You guys should study hard and you should have no problem being chosen." Chang Xing said.
"I'm only worried about myself." Zhang Dalei said with a grimace.
Zhang Dalei suffers because of his body shape!
"Dalei, you don't have to worry, you are strong. The machinery factory may want someone to do odd jobs, such as moving materials, it's all physical work." Zhou Hongbing said.
"You just do hard work, I'm here to be a worker." Zhang Dalei muttered. It's better to go to the gardening field to do hard work.
"Chang Xing, come here and help." Zhao Jianguo waved to Chang Xing. He did not call the educated youth, but directly called Chang Xing in the crowd.
Chang Xing himself was also surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Jianguo to call him.
"It would be great if you came. I was afraid you wouldn't come." Zhao Jianguo said.
"Actually, it is not difficult to work on machinery. If you stay in a machinery factory for a while and pay more attention, it is easy to develop skills. Now, you follow me and I will teach you all the skills. What do you not understand?
Just ask me." Zhao Jianguo said one sentence after another, showing extraordinary enthusiasm for Chang Xing.
Chang Xing wanted to say several times that I was actually here to watch the fun, but he swallowed his words again. He learned the technique first, and then he could teach the three guys. I guess it wouldn’t be possible for Dalei to repeat it once or twice.
If you can learn it well, others may not have the patience to teach you.
"This guy Chang Xing is obviously here to accompany us, but in the end he got in, and we are not sure at all." Zhang Xilai scratched his head, was it really wise to pull Chang Xing over? Chang Xing last year
After saving the educated youth, which one of the group of educated youths didn’t recognize Chang Xing? It would be strange if they didn’t choose Chang Xing when Chang Xing came in.
"At least you still have a chance. I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to be an apprentice." Zhang Dalei said worriedly.
"Are you two so stupid? Chang Xing and Zhao Jianguo are so familiar with each other, how can they eliminate us?" Zhou Hongbing pulled Zhang Dalei and Zhang Xilai aside.
Zhang Dalei and Zhang Xilai immediately showed smiles on their faces.
